Beautiful APIs with Scala, Scalatra, Swagger, and Akka

on YouTube ↗49m

" summary

Builds a concrete REST API with Scalatra, Swagger, and Akka and shows what actually gets wired up: a movies endpoint using Scalatra + Swagger + Akka, case classes that auto-serialize to JSON for UI clients, Swagger-generated JSON docs and an interactive UI that issues real GETs and shows 200 responses, and a POST scaffold with body parameters. Live demo compiles but stumbles—live demo stumbles—so code sometimes needs an extra bootstrap and explicit swagger definitions; Akka is proposed for nonblocking Futures and daemons rather than fully demonstrated.
